princess

"You are no longer one of us. Leave this kingdom and never return!" The Elf Council's declaration rang through the sacred grove as Princess Ella watched her silver hair turn midnight black, her luminous skin marred with shadow veins. As the beloved Crown Princess of the Luminara Elf Tribe, Ella had everything—beauty, power, and a country that adored her. But one forbidden touch of the old Shadowthorn Tree has transformed her into an abomination: a half-human, half-shadow creature her people call a "Shadow Elf." Stripped of her natural magic and cast out by those she loved most, Ella faces certain death in the wilderness. When the rebellious wizard Raine finds her dying in the forest, he sees something familiar in her cursed state—the same darkness that courses through his own forbidden magic. Exiled from the Wizard Guild for performing dark arts, Raine has lived in isolation for years, until Ella's elven blood proves to be the one thing that can stabilize his volatile spells. Their solution? A dangerous pact: his dark magic will silence her curse, while her elven essence will anchor his power. But magic always asks a price. Together, they must cross deadly swamps and scale treacherous mountains in search of the legendary Moonlight Crystal—the only artifact that can break Ella's curse. Hunted by expert elf assassins sent to eliminate the "corrupted princess" and dark wizards who want to harvest her cursed power, Ella and Raine discover that survival means trusting the very person they were taught to fear. As their magical bond grows into something neither expected, Ella must choose: reclaim her place in a country that rejected her, or forge a new destiny with the dark wizard who saw her worth when no one else would. Sometimes the greatest magic isn't found in light or darkness—but in the shadows between.

Eternity was never cruel—only empty. Gale was a god who could create worlds with a thought, yet nothing within them could stay, change, or surprise him. While his divine siblings ruled their domains and bestowed blessings upon mortals, he made a forbidden choice: to abandon eternity and descend into the world of Malan as a mortal, sealing away his true power and erasing his divine trace. At the prestigious Magic Academy—where prodigies, blessed heroes, and hidden gods walk among humans—Gale lives quietly, refusing to use the power that could unravel reality itself. He wants nothing more than an ordinary life. Ordinary days. Ordinary emotions. Then he meets Elara Veyne. Elegant, distant, and feared by the gods themselves, Elara carries a dormant godslayer blessing—one that reacts violently to divine presence. The closer she draws to Gale, the more unstable her power becomes. The more she trusts him, the more dangerous the truth he hides grows. Unbeknownst to them both, other gods have also descended into mortality, disguising themselves as students and faculty, each with their own agendas. Some seek Gale’s return. Others seek his destruction. And some would gladly sacrifice Elara to force him back onto the throne he abandoned. Bound by longing, secrecy, and a fate that should never have intersected, Gale must choose between the love he has found and the godhood he forsook—while Elara must decide whether the man she is falling for is worth defying the heavens themselves. Because this time, eternity is not his enemy. Love is.

Grandma will buy them for you.” Gu Xuesong: “Yao Yao, do you want a private jet?
